hi to ya'll..want to ask a ques..ok lets say i have an Linux operating system and i want to write a configuration file into the system that can read the data entered by the user**(data enter by user is done using VB, VB is used to create the interface and then vbscript is used to generate a text file. The text file contains all info entered by the user. This text file is then sent to the Linux OS, and a configuration file in the os is used to validate the info entered)**.Ok, my ques is what language am i going to use, and how am i going to do it?

How are you getting the data sent to Linux? How often is it going to get sent? What programming languages can you program in? For myself, I know PHP and Perl, which generally do admirably for small jobs which are not long running. However, PHP requires a web server, and Perl requires a fairly significant runtime loaded, so it can be a pain. C or C++ with the SOAP libraries are also an option. I wouldn't go with Java simply because the java implementation on Linux has reliability issues (in my experience, which is limited since I had other options rather than Linux open to me, so I never pursued my issues). -Adrian
